Was hoping it would allow you to enter cmyk values and a particular swatch book to find the closest match. I realize that having it come back with the closest from all the books is probably useful to most ... I am limited to the books I can view. Just thought an option to choose the reference book and select your color independently was the point. Or I'm missing something ... Which is easy since there's absolutely no help within the app.
Total waste of money. Missing cmyk plus series. Useless unless you need to compare 2 pantones. Other websites online just do it better.
Used the app to convert, and it gave me colors that no longer exist. Web version alternative did the same conversion with up to date color library codes. It also asks to download an additional color calibration app that requires calibration hardware. Use the Pantone website to convert colors.
Good thing this app was just 2 bucks (vs the way-overpriced myPantone at $10). It's good for finding Pantone Solid to CMYK equivalents (which are based on Color Bridge, not the old Solid to Process values that many people still use), but as others have noted there are inaccuracies in CMYK to RGB, the interface isn't that intuitive, and the sliders are hyper-sensitive, making it difficult to set precise percentages. Finally color "accuracy" is non-existant; Pantone's web site even has this specific disclaimer: "These cross-references are only to be used as a starting point. Pantone strongly recommends that you reference current PANTONE® Color Standards before making final color decisions. PANTONE® Colors displayed herein may not match PANTONE-identified standards. Consult current PANTONE® Color Publications for accurate color." Word.
I've used this app a ton and I really like it, although it won't open now with the iOS 8 update on my iPhone 5. Please fix! I've tried everything
Do you know that this "export" button on the screenshots just suggests you to buy another $9.99 myPantone aplication? The interface is not intuitive, there is no help or manual available. But there is no alternative ;)
Have found this app to be mostly handy - but why aren't all of the color libraries available? I typically transfer TCX colors to ink -- but all the new colors aren't even on this. So need to continue to use website as well. Pantone could really stand to keep their technology updated. And why is this not updated for an iPad screen?
